Iran, Russia using psychological warfare against West: Official

Kazem Jalali, Iran's ambassador to Russia warns of Western media's negative propaganda

Tehran, Iran - Iran and Russia are engaging in psychological warfare against the West as tensions continue to rise between the two sides, according to a top Iranian official.

Psychological warfare is a form of warfare that uses psychological means to influence the behavior of an adversary.

This can be done through a variety of methods, such as spreading propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation.

In a recent speech, Kazem Jalali, Iran's ambassador to Russia, warned of the West's negative propaganda campaign against his country.

"The West is using psychological warfare against Iran and Russia," Jalali said. "They are trying to portray us as enemies of the world."

Jalali's comments come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the West over Iran's nuclear program.

The United States and its allies have accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, which Iran denies.

In response to the Western pressure, Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for oil exports.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow body of water between Iran and Oman. It is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.

If Iran were to close the Strait of Hormuz, it would have a significant impact on the global economy.

Jalali's comments suggest that Iran is preparing for a possible conflict with the West.

Psychological warfare can be a powerful tool in warfare. It can be used to demoralize an enemy, sow discord, and create confusion.

It is important to be aware of the potential dangers of psychological warfare and to take steps to protect yourself from its effects.
